Introduction

All praise belongs to Allaah, Lord of all the worlds. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, upon his family, his Companions and all those who follow his guidance until the Day of Judgment.

Then to proceed, indeed Allaah Ta’ala sent Muhammad –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– with the most eloquent of speech, Allaah Ta’ala says:

<<And he does not speak from his own desire, indeed it is revelation sent down to him>>

And He said:

<<Whatever the Messenger gave you then take it, and whatever he prohibits you from then keep away from it>>

And He said :

<<Whoever obeys the Messenger then he has obeyed Allaah>>

Allaah has blessed this Ummah with the guidance of the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– and from the greatest of these blessings of guidance, is the ease of worship, coupled with the great reward for fulfilling that worship.

The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– mentioned, in many hadith, actions and sayings, which, if performed grant us great and well-known results. This is to encourage good actions and sayings.

This collection of hadeeth, contain some of the valuable pearls of sayings, from the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam. They yield immense rewards, in return of easy & effortless actions, for those whom Allaah has made them easy.

I have chosen these hadeeth from the book Saheeh al-kalima at-Tayyib by the Shaykh Muhammad Nasir-rudeen al-Albaani -Rahimullaah. This book consists of authentic hadeeth from the book of Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah -Rahimullaah- called al-kalima at-Tayib. All of the hadeeth mentioned in this pamphlet have been graded authentic from the research of Shaykh al-Albaani -Rahimullaah.

This pamphlet has only been only limited to the texts of the hadeeth, since not more than the text is required. I have named this collection Hawiz ala jawaiz (Gaining Rewards). Because these chosen hadeeth, which yield great rewards or great known results which the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– informed us of.

It would be of great benefit, if someone by Allaah’s permission could carry out research similar to this. Delving into the books of hadeeth to bring forth knowledge guidance & good works to the people.

The Hadeeth

1- The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said :

Whoever says: –

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَه،ُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْد،ُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, to Him belongs the Dominion and for Him is all praise, and He is capable of all things.’ –

La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer

One hundred times in one day, then it is equivalent to him freeing ten slaves, a hundred good deeds are written for him, a hundred bad deeds are erased, it is a protection for him against shaytaan during that day until the evening, and no one comes with a better deed than him except for the man who does more actions than him.

---

2 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Whoever says: –

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

‘Far is Allaah from imperfection and all praise is for Him’

Subhana allaahi wa bihamdihi

One hundred times in one day, then his mistakes / sins are cancelled out, even if they are like the foam on the ocean.

---

3 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

There are two words which are gentle on the tongue, heavy on the scales, and beloved to ar-Rahmaan: –

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ

‘Far is Allaah from imperfection and praise is for Him, Far is Allaah The Sublime from imperfection

Subhana allaahi wa bihamdihi, Subhana allaahil atheem

---

4 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Indeed that I say:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

‘Far is Allaah from imperfection, and all praise be to Allaah, and there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest,’

Subhana allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar

– is more beloved to me than what the sun rose upon.

---

5 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Is one of you so weak that he cannot acquire a thousand good deeds everyday? So a questioner from amongst those sitting there asked him: How can anyone of us gain a thousand rewards?

He said: say:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ

– Far is Allaah from imperfection –

Subhana allaahi

A hundred times, so a thousand good deeds are written for him or a thousand sins are cancelled for him.

---

6 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said :

Shall I not inform you of a statement, which is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? I said: Yes O Messenger of Allaah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you! He said: say:

لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

There is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah.

La hawla wa la quwwata illa billaa

---

7 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Whoso ever, reaches the morning & reaches the evening and he says:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

-‘Allaah is far from imperfection and all praise is for Him’ –

Subhana allaahi wa bihamdihi

One hundred times, then no one brings anything better than him on the day of judgment, than what he has brought. Except the one who says what he has said, or has said more than him.

---

8 – On the authority of Mua’ad bin Abdillaah ibn Khubayb on the authority of his father who said we went out on a very dark and rainy night searching for the Messenger of Allaah so that he could pray for us, then I found him and he –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said : Recite. So I did not say anything, then he said: Recite. So I did not say anything, and he said: Recite, so I said: what should I recite? He said: recite:

“قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ”

‘Say that Allaah is the One.’

And the last two Soorahs (al-muawaathatayan) in the evening and the morning, three times for it will suffice you for everything.

---

9 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said :

Indeed the major supplication for forgiveness is to say

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

O Allaah You are my Lord, there is none worthy of worship in truth except You, You created me and I am Your slave and I abide to Your covenant and promise as best as I can, I seek refuge in You from the evil that I have committed, I profess to you my sins and I acknowledge Your favour upon me, so forgive me verily no one forgives sins except you.

Allaahumma anta rabbee, la ilaha illa anta, Khalaqtanee, wa ana abduka, wa ana ala ahdika wa wa’dika mastata’tu, a’outhu bika min sharri ma sanatu, aboo’u laka bini’matika alayya, wa aboo’u bee thambee, faghfirlee fa’innahu la yaghfiru ath-thunooba ‘illa ‘anta

So if the worshipper says this when the morning arrives, truly believing in it and he dies, enters Paradise, and if he says this when the evening arrives truly believing in it enters Paradise.

---

10 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

There is not one from amongst the worshippers, that if he says, in the morning of everyday and the evening of every night: –

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

In the name of Allaah with whose name nothing is harmed what so ever, on this earth nor in the heavens whatsoever, and He is the All Hearing and All Knowing

Bismil-lahil-lathee la yadhurru ma’a ‘issmihi shay’un fil ‘ardhi wa la fissama’i wa huwa ‘as-samee’ul –‘aleem

Three times nothing harms him what so ever.

---

11 – On the authority of Abu Huraira –RadhiAllaahu anhu-, the Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– had placed Abu Huraira to look after the charity, some one came to him to take from the charity – and this person came night after night, so on the third night Abu Huraira said to him: I will take you to the Messenger of Allaah. So he said Why don’t you leave me and I will teach you some words that Allaah will benefit you by – and Abu Huraira was of those who were very attentive regarding good deeds – so the person said to him: When you go to bed, read Ayaat ul-Kursi:

(الله لا إلهَ إلا هُوَ الحيُ القَيُومَ )

<<Allaah, none has the right to be worshipped except Him The Ever living, The One Who sustains and protects all that exists>>

[verse 255 from Soorah Baqarah]

Until the end of the Ayaah, then this will continue to be a protection for you from Allaah, and Shaytan will not be able to come near you until the morning arrives. The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said: He spoke the truth even though he is a liar, [that was Shaytan].

---

12 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Who ever recites the last two Ayaat from Soorah al-Baqarah at night, then those two verses will be sufficient for him.

---

13 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Shall I not show you what will be better for you than a servant? When you lie down on your bed, say SubhanAllaah 33 times, say al-hamdulillaah 33 times and say Allaahu akbar 34 times.

---

14 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Who ever wakes up at night, and says: –

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَه،ُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْد،ُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ،الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ،وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ،وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ العليِ الْعَظِيمِ.

‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, He has the Dominion and for Him is all praise, and He is capable of all things, praise is for Him, and Far is Allaah from imperfection, and There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest, there is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah the Most High the ‘Atheem.’ (Supreme)

La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer Subhana allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar

La hawla wa la quwwata illa billaa

Then he says : اللهمَ اغْفِرْلي O Allaah forgive me (Allaahumma aghfirlee), or he supplicates and his supplication is answered, and if he makes Wudu and prays then his prayer is accepted.

---

15- The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Who ever goes to bed with purification….there is not an hour of the night that he asks Allaah for something of good from this world and the hereafter, except that Allaah grants him that which he asked for.

---

16 – Abu Salma said that he heard Abu Qatada say that he heard the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– say:

A good dream is from Allaah –Tabaraka wa Ta’ala– and a bad dream is from Shaytaan, so if anyone sees something in his dream which he dislikes, then he should spit on his left side 3 times when he awakens, and he should seek refuge with Allaah from its evil, then it will not harm him if Allaah so wills.

---

17 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

A good dream is from Allaah, so if any one of you sees something in his dream that he likes, then he should not relate it to anyone except the one whom he loves, and if he sees that which he dislikes, then he should not relate it to anyone, rather he should spit on his left side 3 times, and he should seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of the accursed shaytaan, and the evil of what he saw, then it will not harm him.

---

18- The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Our Lord –Tabarak wa Ta’ala- descends every night to the lowest heavens, when there remains the last third part of the night, and He says who is there that supplicates to me so that I may answer his supplication, who is there that asks of me so that I may grant him what he asks for, who is there that seeks my forgiveness so that I may forgive him.

---

19 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Indeed, there is an hour from the night, which if a Muslim asks Allaah in that time from the good of the affairs of this world and the hereafter, then Allaah gives him of it, and that is in every night.

---

20 – On the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Whoever says, as he leaves from his house:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ،ولَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ تعالى

In the name of Allaah, I have placed my trust in Allaah, and there is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah Ta’ala

Bismillaahi tawwakaltu alalaahi wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi taa’la

then it is said to him: indeed you have been saved, and you have been protected, and you have been guided, and shaytaan has been kept away from him, so another shaytaan says: how can you affect a man who has indeed been guided and saved and been protected.

---

21 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

If a man enters his home, and he remembers Allaah when he enters and when he eats his food, the shaytaan says: there is no place for you to spend the night nor is there any dinner. And if he does not remember Allaah when he enters his house then the shaytaan says: you have found a place to spend the night and if he does not remember Allaah while he is eating his food then he says you have found food to eat.

---

22 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

O my son if you enter your home then say Salaam it will be a blessing for you and your family.

---

23 – When the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– would enter the Masjid he would say:

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

– I seek refuge with Allaah The Supreme and with His Noble Face, and His eternal authority from the accursed shaytaan –

A’outhu bil-lahil ‘atheem, wa bi-wajhihil-kareem, wa bi-sultanihil-qadeem min ‘ash-shayanir-rajeemi

Then he said: if he says this supplication then the shaytaan says: this person has been protected from me for the rest of the day.

---

24 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

If the people knew what was there (in benefit for them) in the call to prayer and praying in the front row, and they could not get to it except by drawing lots, then they would draw lots.

---

25- The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

There is none from the Jinn, mankind and anything else that hears the reach of the Muaddthin’s (the caller to prayer) voice except that they will testify for him on the day of Resurrection.

---

26 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

If you hear the Muaddthin, then repeat what he says, then send prayers upon me, since indeed the one who sends prayers upon me once, Allaah sends ten prayers upon him. Then ask Allaah for me to be an intercessor since it is a high station in Paradise, which is not befitting except for a servant from the servants of Allaah and I hope that I am the one, so whoever asks intercession for me then intercession will take place for him.

---

27 -The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Who ever says, when he hears the call to prayer:

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ

– O Allaah Lord of this perfect call to prayer and Owner of this prayer to be performed, bestow upon Muhammad a station in Paradise and a rank above the rest of creation and give him the honorable station which you have promised him –

Allaahumma rabba hathihi ‘addawatittamati, was-salatil qa’imati, ‘ati Muhammadan ál-waseelata wal faaheelata, wab’ath-hu maqqaman mahmoodan ‘allathee wa’adtahu

then my intercession occurs for him on the day of Judgment.

---

28- A man said O Messenger of Allaah indeed the callers to the prayer are more favored than we are. So the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said: repeat what they say, and when you finish ask, and you will be given.

---

29 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

A supplication that is made between the Adhaan and the Iqama is not rejected.

---

31 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Two things which are not rejected, or rarely rejected: A supplication made at the time of the call to prayer, and at the time when the battle becomes severe.

---

31 -The Prophet –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Shall I not teach you something, which the people who proceeded you attained, and those who come after you will proceed you with, and there will be no-one better than you except the one who does what you do? They said of course O Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam. So he said: say: – far is Allaah from imperfection, Allaah is the Greatest and Praise is to Allaah – SubanAllaah and Allaahu akbar and Alhamdulillaah at the end of every prayer 33 times each.

---

32 -The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Whoever says SubhanAllaah at the end of every prayer 33 times, says al-hamdulillaah 33 times, and says Allaahu akbar 33 times, then this adds up to 99, and if he says –

ِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, He has the Dominion and for Him is all praise, and He is capable of all things’

La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer

To complete a hundred, then his mistakes/sins are forgiven even if they were equivalent to the foam on the sea.

---

34 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

There are two characteristics or two qualities that if a Muslim slave of Allaah is continuous upon, will enter Paradise, they are simple but those who do them are few. To say SubhanAllaah at the end of every prayer ten times, says alhamdulillah ten times and says Allaahu akbar ten times, which is equivalent to 150 times on the tongue and 1500 on the scales. And he says Allaahu Akbar 34 times when he goes to bed and he says alhamdulillah 33 times and says SubhanAllaah 33 times, and that is equivalent to 100 on the tongue and 1000 on the scales.

---

34 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– used to teach us al-Istikharah (a prayer said for aid in making a decision) for all matters, just like he used to teach us a chapter from the Qur’aan, he would say: If any of you intends to undertake a matter then he should pray two Rakah other than an obligatory prayer then he should say

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي أَوْ قَالَ عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي أَوْ قَالَ فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ

O Allaah I request of You with Your knowledge, and by Your Power I seek capability, and I ask of you of your great favour, since indeed You are the One who is able while I am not, and You know and I do not, and You are the One who knows the unseen. O Allaah if You know that this matter – here he mentions his need – is good for me in this world and for my living and for the matters of my hereafter – or he said, for my affairs now and the future – then decree it for me and make it easy for me and bless it for me. And if You know that this matter is evil for me in this world and for my life and for the matters of my hereafter – or he said, for my affairs now and the affairs of my future – then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree goodness for me where ever it may be and make me pleased with it.

---

35 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

The supplication of Yunas, when he supplicated while he was in the belly of the whale:

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

– There is none worthy of worship in truth except You, far are You from imperfection, indeed I am from amongst the Thalimoon(oppressors) –

La ilaha ‘illa ‘anta, subhanaka ‘innee kuntu minath-thalimeena

No Muslim ever supplicates with this for anything except that Allaah responds to him.

---

36 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

Allaah does not afflict a slave with grief nor sadness, except that if the slave says: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي وَنُورَ صَدْرِي وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي

O Allaah indeed I am Your slave, and the son of Your slave, and the son of Your female slave, my forelock is in Your Hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask of You with all Your names, which belong to You, which You have named Yourself with, or which You have taught someone from Your creation or revealed it in Your Book or that which You have taken unto Your self with the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart and light of my breast and keep away from me my sadness, and that my grief goes away –

Allaahumma ‘innee ‘abduka, wabnu ‘abdika, wabnu amatika, nasiyatee biyadika, madhin fiyya hukmuka, adlun fiyya qadha’uka, asaluka bikulli ismin huwa laka, sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw anzaltahu fee kitabika, ‘aw allamthu ahadan min khaliqika, aw ista’tharta bihi fee ilmil ghaybi ‘indaka, án taj’alal-qurana rabee’a qalbee, wa noora sadree, wa jala’a huznee, wa thahaba hammee

Then Allaah takes away his grief and sadness and replaces it with happiness.

---

37 – Uthman ibn al-Aas came to the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– and said: O Messenger of Allaah indeed the shaytaan comes between me and my prayer, and my recitation becomes confusing? The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said: This is a shaytaan called khunsabun, so if you sense his presence then seek refuge in Allaah from him and spit on your left hand side three times. Uthman said: I did that and Allaah kept him away from me.

---

39 – The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:

There is no one from among Allaah’s servants, who is afflicted with an affliction except that he says: –

 إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ  اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

Indeed, we belong to Allaah and indeed to Him is our return – O Allaah recompense me for my affliction and replace it with something better than that

Inna lil-lahi wa inna ‘ilayhi raji’oona, ‘allahumma’jurnee fee museebatee, wa ákhliflee khayran minha

Except that Allaah compensates him in what he has been afflicted with, and gives him that which is better than the previous thing.

---

40 – ‘Alee –RadhiAllaahu anhu:

Shall I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– taught me that even if you have an equivalent of a mountain of debt upon you that Allaah will pay it off on you behalf? Say: –

َ اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ

O Allaah make what You have made lawful sufficient for me, as opposed to what You have made unlawful, and spare me by Your grace, from the need of others.
